Hayward... I study International Relations, so turning off the news is not an option.
venus, when did we have a revolution here recently? did i miss that cause i avoid the news chatter? i don't mean an election if that is what u're referring to, idk. i mean an uprising from the ground up! this includes the intellectuals and the common people. the 60's showed what a political revolution can do re the vietnam war. it changed the whole attitude of that war and forced change in our foreign policy there. i feel a lot of ppl are apathetic and are being pulled around by the nose instead of being aware of what is going on in our government.
